...THERE ARE PROBLEMS with federal education apparatus--and there clearly are--cutting the umbilical cord between education and its bureaucratic mother is no way to solve them. The estimated $17 million needed to establish a Department of Education would be better spent in an internal reorganization of HEW.

Dad, played by Paul Dooley, keeps up a blustering manner with his family, making those rare moments when he lets out some real emotion very powerful. Occasionally the father-son relationship lapses into Mayberry RFD sappiness, but altogether this is the most believable family since "Leave It to Beaver." It's enough to make you believe in middle America...
